The other evening while Anna was doing some furniture painting, Kuba happened to be in a pretty rambunctious mood. He was throwing his stuffed animals, jumping around roughly, and had been given a reminder by me to tone it down a bit. Shortly after this, he happened to throw a stuffed monkey and it hit Anna's paintbrush, leaving a swath of white paint across this borrowed monkey's fur. Anna was cross and scolded Kuba for not listening and being too wild. She then told him he would have to clean the paint off his friend's animal. She was a tough mama in that moment and spoke to him sternly. He immediately started to cry and ran upstairs sobbing. Anders chased after him and from the bottom of the stairwell, Anders yelled up to him - "Don't worry Kuba, remember Mama will always love you no matter what!"
Brother love. Powerful stuff.
